Chapter 199: Chapter 126: Romance May Not Be All About Money, But It’s Absolutely Impossible Without It

After getting their address, he drove over.

When he arrived at the company entrance, the loan agency’s saleswoman was stunned to see Xu Yun get out of a Bentley coupe.

’This guy needs a loan from *us*?’

Xu Yun walked up and asked, "From the loan company?"

"Ah, yes."

The saleswoman asked, "Are you the Mr. Xu who called earlier?"

"Yes, that’s me."

Xu Yun smiled. "Take me to your boss."

"Okay."

Soon, she led him to a 40- to 50-square-meter office on the second floor of a building.

There were only five or six people inside.

Three men and two women.

The boss was a man in his forties, wearing a suit and glasses. He had the look of an educated man.

The saleswoman who had greeted him whispered what she had seen into the boss’s ear, and the look in the boss’s eyes changed as he glanced at Xu Yun.

"Mr. Xu, please have a seat."

He asked with a smile, "I was wondering, how much funding do you need?"

Typically, people came to them for loans of just a few tens of thousands, or a few hundred thousand at most.

But this Mr. Xu had arrived in a coupe worth several million. A man like that wouldn’t be here for a paltry few tens of thousands.

But if the amount was too large, there were two problems. First, they might not have that much cash on hand. Second, it was a huge risk. What if they lent it out and couldn’t collect?

"I don’t want money."

Xu Yun sat across from him and replied, "I’m here to give you money. To discuss a business deal."

"A business deal?"

Hearing this, the boss frowned. "What kind of deal?"

"Do you do debt collection? Or if you know anyone who does, you could give me a referral. I’ll give you a commission."

Xu Yun said, "I have a debt I need collected."

"From your accent, you’re not from around here, are you, Mr. Xu?"

"No."

Xu Yun chuckled. "That’s why I’m looking for professionals like you."

A company that lent money would naturally have people who collected debts.

"We can do that."

The boss asked, puzzled, "How much money needs collecting?"

"A car and a house."

Xu Yun said, "If you can get them back for me within three days, I’ll pay you 100,000!"

"What’s their background?"

The boss was smart. He ran a small business, and there were some people you couldn’t afford to cross. It was best to ask for the details upfront.

"They have no backing. Just a few scoundrels from my friend’s family."

Xu Yun said, "If you’ll take the job, I’ll give you their details."

"Alright, we’ll take the job."

"But let me make one thing clear."

Xu Yun warned, "You can press them for the debt, but no breaking the law."

"We know that. We’re a legitimate loan company, not the mob."

The boss chuckled. "This is a society governed by laws now. Our collection methods are relatively gentle. We won’t cause a death or do anything illegal.

Even if they call the police, we’re not worried. You can rest assured."

"Good. I’ll be waiting for good news."

Before he left, they exchanged contact information. Xu Yun then transferred 20,000 as a down payment. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He would pay them the remaining 80,000 once the job was done.

The boss escorted Xu Yun all the way out, watching with a touch of envy as he climbed into a Bentley coupe—the kind of car the boss dreamed of but could never afford.

Despite being a "loan company," they didn’t actually make much money. Business was slow.

Besides, small-time operations like theirs were a dime a dozen. Anyone could just round up a few people and start one.

So, don’t think Xu Yun’s offer of 100,000 was a small sum. To them, it was a huge temptation.

The reason Xu Yun went to them, rather than the police or other official channels, was because he knew that domestic disputes are notoriously difficult for outsiders to judge.

Certain types of people only respond to a certain type of persuasion.

And Jinshu’s parents were exactly the type who required this kind of handling.

After arranging for the debt collection, Xu Yun got back in his car. He hired a motorcycle to guide him, and they arrived at the only cemetery in the county.

He then bought a burial plot for Jinshu’s grandmother in a prime location, spending around 100,000 yuan!

He had no idea if the plot’s feng shui was actually any good.

After all, he didn’t know the first thing about feng shui.

[A person needs a house while living and a tomb after death. The Host, following the principle of Do as You Please, has bought a burial plot for his woman’s relative. Reward: 300,000 in cash!]

[Bank Account Balance: 21,500,000.]

Xu Yun smiled.

’This system is absolutely insane!’

’If I bought an expensive plot for myself, I wonder what the reward would be!’

By the time he’d handled everything, it was already getting late.

When Xu Yun drove back, the memorial hall had already been set up in Hall 4 of the funeral parlor.

Funeral wreaths had gradually been placed around the hall, and friends and family were starting to arrive.

Thanks to Yu Xuan’s arrangements, not only did guests not have to give condolence money, but each of them received a pack of premium cigarettes.

Whenever anyone asked who she was, Yu Xuan would simply say she was Jinshu’s secretary, just there to help.

This gave Jinshu, who was busy greeting guests, a great deal of face.

Everyone praised her, saying she had grown up, become successful, and was a filial daughter.

When Yu Xuan saw her boss, Xu Yun, return, she called out, "Boss."

"Where are Jinshu’s parents?"

Xu Yun asked, "I don’t see them anywhere."

"They left before you got here."

Yu Xuan replied, "Looks like they went to call for reinforcements."

"Don’t worry. It won’t be long before *they’re* the ones with a headache."

Just then, Jinshu, having finished seeing to a guest, noticed Xu Yun had returned and hurried over.

She called out, "Xu Yun, where have you been all afternoon?"

"I was out running some errands for you."

Xu Yun pulled a receipt from his pocket. "I took care of your grandmother’s burial plot."

"Thank you."

As Jinshu looked at the 100,000-yuan receipt, she was so moved her eyes began to mist over.

’Xu Yun treated her better than anyone else in the world.’

’Romance might not be all about money, but you absolutely can’t have it without money.’

She looked at Xu Yun and said, "I’ll definitely pay you back for all this someday."

"Sure."

Xu Yun teased, "I’ll charge you 10,000 a night. You can take your time paying me back."

"..." Jinshu.
